Is it wise to pay upfront for 24 months to get this deal? Can't seem to find any major complaints about Mozillian SIM deals. There's just the risk of the big upfront outlay. I seem to be considering it. 30GB is far more than I need but will cover the odd month I need more rather than relying on RWG add-ons at the moment. £4.50/month seems reasonable.

Pay as you go SIM plans with Calls, Texts & data for with Mozillion

    Can you pay by credit card in case they go out of business?

    Have You checked the deals here? Lots of similar priced deals on shorter contracts, although some have vouchers bringing down the cost.

    Yes, went there first. For the 2-3 times a year where I need up to 30GB, I may go for this deal. I couldn't see anything for £4.50/m equiv, even with the faffing around with vouchers/cashback etc, that was fixed for 2 years. RWG has served me well but prices have gone up and I am getting to the end of my doubled up credit to buy add-on data bundles, and incoming call fail rate seems to be an issue again. If I can get something that covers me for a couple of years with no faffing about for a bit that'll do me.

    I paid £168 upfront for 24 months 100gb with Mozillion 4 months ago. All upfront, no monthly cost afterwards

    So far they have been brilliant. No problems at all

    I did the same with BT Cellent many may years ago when phone were not much smaller than a brick and they had
    those plastic sliding covers over the keypad.

    They had a deal where it was 25p/minute that required a topup every couple of months and another for 50p/minute
    that only required a topup once a year. Bought my 50p/minute one on a deal where all credit bought before the end
    of January was charged at the 25p rate for the 1 year or until the next topup.

    I intended to put £150 on it and it should last a year, I even said that was my intention in the shop (Currys/Dixons)?
    and they thought no that cannot work. But it did, only ever topped up the once and it stayed at the 25p rate.
    I could be wrong on the actual rates but it was not cheap back then.

    If the deal works then just protect the payment as much as you can.

    I paid upfront for 2 Mozillion contracts by PayPal but I didn't know at the time that was what I was doing. I was given two separate monthly amounts and I expected these payments to come out my bank via PayPal every month. The problem now is the service has always been dreadful on both phones, no one can call me, it goes straight to voicemail and any time I manage to get connected to anyone they say it's a terrible line and we get cut off. I asked to leave the contract but they won't issue a refund. Is this legal?

    I've looked into this deal to replace a defunct Now/RWG SIM… there's the upfront payment and I'm also not convinced that their "roaming" is what I'd want as it only covers calls within the country you're currently in. That's similar to what Lebara are offering (though they give you 100 free international minutes)… but it's not real "EU roaming" which means that calls between EU countries are covered as well.

    I'd go for a spusu SIM but the phone in question doesn't support VoLTE or WIFI calls.
